One who has been previously convicted of a crime that carried a sentence of prison incarceration.
Actually, the only way to be an ex-felon is to have been convicted, and then acquitted. When you get released from prison, and are no longer state property, you're an ex-convict, but you remain a felon.

Yes. It's pretty common for drug abuse counselors to be former addicts. And it's common for former addicts to have been charged with a felony...or two. Make sure you are honest on your application. It is not uncommon at all. In fact, former addicts often make the best counselors because their patients can get away with anything.
What does it take for a exfelon to own a firearm?
The first question is whether they really are an "ex" felon, or not. Once you're convicted of a felony, you remain a felon, always and forever. The only way you could really be an "ex" felon is if the conviction was overturned. So, for a felon to have their firearms rights restored... well, if it's a federal felony, the chances are slim to none. If it's a state - but not a federal - felony, then it may be possible. You'll need a good lawyer, a good bit of money... and then still nothing is guaranteed.
